Question
I recently got my nails done. A beautiful french manicure . The nails are gel nails. Now I am going to a manicurist who only does acrylic nails. Is it safe to get acrylic over my gel nails?

Answer
Hi Lana

Yes as long as the girl you are going to is experienced and qualified, it will be fine, please check she is not using any MMA acrylic products, see my website and sign the petition,
